Content Based Instruction

The article in Anthology, "Project Work: A Means to Promote Language and Content," was one I felt  to be very interesting.  It talks about Content Based Instruction (CBI) where the activities in the classroom are based on what it being taught.  I think this seems quite like common sense--activities should relate to what one is trying to teach in the classroom.  The article goes on to list how it helps to motivated students in their work.  CBI also brings about the idea of Project Work--which is just as it sounds, sometimes with group work, though.  I rather like the idea of CBI and Project work because there seems to be endless possibilities when it comes to classroom activities and projects that will help students to get excited and interested in the material being covered.
